Mockingbird

Hey there, mockingbird
Wont you hang on every word
Wont you sing a song for me
Way up in the willow tree

To hear my mockingbird sing
Wouldn't trade for a diamond ring
Wouldn't trade for pearls or gold
'Cause they wont sing when I grow old

Hush baby, don't you cry
Daddy gonna' buy you a fourty-five
If that fourty-five don't blow
Daddy gonna' buy you a fourty-four

Hush baby, not so loud
Men are coming to shoot me down
Climb inside the old trap door
Mockingbird don't sing no more

Hey there, mockingbird
Wont you hang on every word
Wont you sing a song for me
Way up in the willow tree

Hush baby, not so loud
Men are coming to shoot me down
Climb inside the old trap door
Mockingbird don't sing no more
